In the City of Petaluma, we are converting a 1950's tract home into a productive and sustainable food source. Packing the yards with gardens, fruit trees and bees and doing away with the front lawn, we hope to be part of the solution and an inspiration to passers by.

OK, this is about nuts. This neighborhood used to be a walnut orchard. There is a walnut tree on each parcel. Recently, I have been finding walnuts and shells of walnuts in places where there are no trees, like the sidewalk or my front lawn. At first I thought it must be those damned kids (get off of my lawn!) but then I heard a knocking sound. I looked up and saw this crow repeatedly dropping a walnut onto the street. I grabbed my camera, but did not get a good shot of the action, so you will have to take my word for it.
